but half the cast are DEAD! how will this work Shocked Confused

now of course there could do a one of spiecal of Keeping up appearances
but this NO, it would be like doing a are you being served special


I would love them to do a one off special of Keeping Up Appearances. That was the best comedy IMO.

A special of Keeping up Appearances would be much more realistic, as we'd expect that all the main characters would still be doing pretty much the same stuff
Allo Allo is so dated, I can't see how it would work now

The second actress to play Rose in Keeping Up Apperances sadly died a several years ago. The first actress to play Rose is now of course Edna Birch in Emmerdale!

I all of the other cast are alive, so yes they could pretty much bring it back without too much hassle!

yes they could redo it, maybe Sheridan's civil wedding to tarquin Wink

But the point is we don't need anything back. People have got to learn to leave things behind, like John Cleese did years ago with Fawlty Towers.

LOL yes. I dont think we ever saw Sheridan in the series at all.

Having said that, I notice from the cast list that the actor playing Herr Flick changed for the final season - so is the original Herr Flick actor (another "true regular", surely?) also deceased?

Nope, I think a few months back he was on Look East with 'Helgar' at some location.

Richard Marner (Col Von Strohm) died in 2004.

Hard to see the point in this, especially with some of the main characters missing.

Patricia Routledge is about 78 now and she has retired from television (although still does the odd radio plays TMK) but it would be nice to see it back for one more special.

There's some classic clips on YouTube including outtakes going back to series 1.

Perhaps it's going to be a sort of "Life on the Box" type show, like they did with Fletcher and Margo?

Clive Swift has just turned 71.

Amazing, because when things are repeated we tend to think people remain that age forever.
